By winning a unanimous decision from Manhattan at Manhattan and losing by a like verdict to Washburn here at home, Ottawa split even in the pentangular debate last Friday night.

A fair sized crowd heard the O. debate in the auditorium. The identity of the teams was concealed at the request of Washburn coach and no decorations or excessive cheering led one to know which team was the local one. The idea was very successfully earned out and merits its repetition. The question for debate was, "Resolved, that the Monroe Doctrine as developed and applied should be abandoned as a part of our national policy." The O.

U. affirmative team which remained at home was composed of Roy Taylor (Capt.) John Pennington and W. B. Johnson. For the first time in several years Ottawa was generally admitted to excel in delivery.

Previously Ottawa's hopes have been based upon organization and argument and the general improvement in delivery was a pleasing surprise to all debate enthusiasts. In argument the teams were very evenly matched and in the minds of the audience the outcome was a toss the event the official delegate from Ottawa. Cassidy Second Two Years Ago. steerage.

"The tryout is the best I have ever seen in Ottawa," declares Prof. Stan-sell, head of the English department. And Prof. Stansell has seen a half-dozen or more of them.

The contestants had their lines better shape and there were more competitors for places than ever De-fore. It is significant that the best talent concentrated on the heavy parts and with one exception there were two or more equally strong players for each part. David Stallard, who carried a leading role in the 1913 Senior play and who is coach of the play for this year, stated that the outlook is very encouraging.

The track squad has been laboring under considerable difficulty thus far and consistent practice has been hindered because of the lack of a tunning track.
